The Art of Isolation
Original Submission by Loh Jen Li
The Art of Isolation
Isolation in itself isn’t a horrible idea
Many that come across an isolated individual
A moment of silence itself functions as a panacea
Some make it seem as if it is less spiritual
Why does one need a voice if they are doubted
What does one do when singing isn’t an answer
Where does one go from being ignored
When does one wish to be a dancer
